Would be great to see in person. Got a chance to see a copy of the Guttenberg bible, and its was stunningly beautiful in person
Again, yes a chance would be great. Not familiar with the Guttenberg outside of it's first printed status. Are there pictures and illumination or just quality text ?
There were little dudes on horseback riding around the pages, and fantastic borders. The Huntington in LA has a copy and they change the pages every now and then.
Right, I will have to check it out in real life
